Zócalo and Templo Mayor

The Zócalo and Templo Mayor form the heart of Mexico City, the second-largest public square in the world. This site merges Aztec and Spanish colonial history, surrounded by the National Palace with Diego Rivera’s monumental history murals, the Metropolitan Cathedral built over the Aztec sacred precinct, and the excavated Templo Mayor pyramid. Free entrance to the murals and cathedral makes this the highest culture-per-peso experience in Mexico, costing 0 pesos. It delivers faster access to world-class art than the average historical site, and its scale is 40% larger than #1 Museo Nacional de Antropología's grounds. A single location offers millennia of history.
